Hawaii's first 'Kid's Cafe' to be offered on Kauai
By Associated Press
(Lihue-AP) -- A ``Kid's Cafe'' that offers free healthy snacks to underprivileged children will be launched on Kauai beginning in September.
The after school program, which currently operates in 41 other states, is the first in Hawaii.
Kauai Food Bank has received a 20-thousand dollar grant to set up the Kid's Cafe at the Waimea Boys and Girls Club.
Waimea, on Kauai's west side, was selected because of the high number of low-income families. About 54 percent of the children receive free or reduced-price school lunches. The club also had a certified kitchen.
Kauai Food Bank executive director Judy Lenthall says local farmers will supply some of the fruits and vegetables for the program.
There will be an educational component of the program put on by the Kauai Children's Discovery Museum. "
